Bonker doesn't like to read. All the answers are there, even if you refuse to look them up.

Guess its another troll-erday.

I guess TraderTimm doesn't like to write. Can you at least provide a link to a robust resolution? Because I haven't found one so far

Given that there have been a bazillion posts about wallet security, the equivalence of bitcoin to cash and the attendant problems, I'm sure if you were able to do your own homework instead of monkey-hammering out your poorly researched opinions, you might be able to learn something.

But I'm not holding my breath over it.

Dude, you're turning out to be a prime dickbag. This isn't a question of "wallet security", it's a problem of transaction fraud. Seeing as you couldn't come up with an answer, some others have come up with a partial solution. But there are still glaring holes in Bitcoin that will see it burn in an early grave if it ever hits the general population in its present form..

Uh oh, name-calling - let me get something to cry into.

Transaction fraud discussions are in the forums too, you know, under the heading "bitcoin escrow". Of course, you'd know this if you had bothered to look. Do you research anything you talk about, ever? I'm quite sure by the time any of these problems are solved, it won't be because you posted a few hurried statements about bitcoin in your spare time.

Either offer some kind of strategy yourself, learn about the complexities, or stay out of the way of those who will solve it for you.

No one yet has answered this problem: Its too easy to get robbed. You send someone some bitcoins and they can just walk! It's just like posting cash to a stranger, totally stupid.No-one posts cash to stranger, so no-one will send bitcoins! It's obvious!

In a face to face transaction, use cash - cus its anonymous.In an internet transaction, use Paypal etc, cuz its the only way not to get robbed.

Why can no-one give me a robust resolution. By robust, I mean not some juvenile, hand waving gibberish arguement.

Funny you say paypal is the only way not to get robbed. It's the same as sending bitcoins, except once you receive the item you do a chargeback. Paypal doesn't care, just like bitcoins doesn't care. If you're not safe with transactions, you will get robbed. Same with pretty much any other scenario dealing with money.

Use clearcoin, otherwise maybe you should not deal with currencies at all if this is your concern.

Help Bitcoins by buying clothes, technology, books, etc. through people/stores that accept BTC. This will increase overall value of BTC as well as mitigate unnecessary bank transaction fees.

any kind of bitcoin valuation in which you don't include a markup for knuckleheads who think bitcoin will replace all existing currencies and pour their live savings into it because of this leads you nowhere near 7$.

Sorry, buddy, you continue to mark yourself as a dickbag. Escrow is obvious, but it introduces the problem of a third party. This is a fundamental flaw as any conventional escrow would be subject to regulation. Escrow makes Bitcoin no different to a bank or paypal transaction. As such, Bitcoin is just a geeky reinvention of the wheel.

The nearest thing to a resolution offered so far is the "web of trust", offered by a more constructive poster than yourself earlier in this thread.

But remember, if Bitcoin goes mainstream gangs of very smart people will be looking to attack it.
